Seriously. You’d be surprised how many people don’t

if it had actual historical penetration more people would use it.
and in most cases they are useless cause of gray zone.
not really. they were not that powerful for anti infantry. this is an HEAT rocket, not an HE or fragmentation rocket. too many movies make them comically OP so people always associate big explosion that kills people with it.
first step is to make maps tank friendly and second is to make tanks behave like vehicles with caterpillars. most of the time problem isnt even in pushing, but getting stuck in weird shit that tank should be able to pass.

I feel the TNT charges should also be limited to the engineers and AT gunners (Someone probably already said this, I didn’t read half of the replies), I doubt that any old soldier would be given a TNT charge in WWII, most of them probably weren’t experienced enough with explosives to be trusted with them. I really don’t know anything of the training of soldier in WWII, but I believe my point seems reasonable to believe.

Stop driving your Tigor right into the middle of the infantry like a pepega

Wait my M9 is underpowered? Dang it Darkflow
m1 uses m6 rockets that have ~80mm armor pen
m1a1 uses m6a1/m6a2 that have ~100mm armor pen
m9 uses m6a3 rockets that have ~120-125mm armor penetration.
most of the m1 launchers have been modified to m1a1 in 1943

Idk havent really had issues with AT guns, works just fine on weakspots.
Well actually you brought the skill issue to this.
Could you link a reliable source? Right now it uses m6a3_bazooka. So if it’s wrong, it must be forwarded
Except that the M1 Bazooka was perfectly fine until they added Tigers to Normandy.

The 2.36inch Launcher M1/M9 used the M6 series bomb.
Rockets were interchangeable between M1 and M9 launchers.M6 rocket pen approx 80mm (early prod)
M6A1/A2 rocket pen approx 100mm (mainly M1 Bazooka)
M6A3/A4 rocket pen approx 120mm (mainly M9 Bazooka)
M6A5 rocket approx 125mm (post war)

M1A1 uses M6A1
M9 uses M6A3 (126mm pen)

btw i am reading this post further and there is official document that lists 89-102mm penetration, but it doesnt mention angles. also tests are usually performed on 30° angle.
and last post was this
It turns out that I had an official unclassified US War Dept primary document on my PC this whole time with the penetration data for the Bazooka M6A3 rocket.
It confirms the official secondary document from earlier on this thread.
Penetration was 4 inches.
I didn’t think that Field Artillery would include data on the Bazooka, so I didn’t search the document.
so i would guess that is 102mm at 30° angle. or ~120mm at 0° angle

i know right? like when i found out this game actually have grenade charging i start using it so much it became a normal thing for me also not a lot of game have this mechanic so i guess it understandable.
Any regulation about tanks is to buff brain cells of tankers.
Unfortunanetly, humanity hasnt developed that kind of technology yet.
Any genius who think tanks are some kind of modern winged hussars deserves every dynamite to their tank’s exhaust pipe.
You need a proof ?
Tanks without coordination, proper air and infantry support :
What game doesn’t have grenade cooking besides Halo?
nah… that video is just proof of retarded command officer. they went into known minefield, in tight formation on highly visible open field advancing toward position that had artillery support. there is absolutely nothing that proper air or infantry support could have done there.
also they had drone support that was constantly searching for hidden artillery, but it was impossible to spot them all.

kinda have to when ur driving behind minesweeper which is also visible in video.
cod dont have one as far as i know and maybe other shooter too but i havent play much oh half lofe maybe since i dont remember it have grenade cooking
they just needed to follow the trail and not to be directly behind minesweeper.
being right behind the mine sweeper is also highly dangerous and could result in the loss of both vehicles and crews.
Sure if you have spare minesweepers readily available, these things dont have gun so its quite mandatory a tank follows nearby to do the shooting.
